[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So he encourages players to PAY him for extra training and then rewards those players with more play time? And thats listed as a pro? LOL. [/quote]

And the extra training is just an extension of his practices, honestly.  It's called "small group" training but it can be 10+ kids in a session and he charges different amounts to different kids lol.  It's honestly insane. [/quote]

Ever think he was trying to improve the team without the distraction of players who weren’t as capable or serious? Charging for the sessions is necessary [b]otherwise he’d have to include everyone, defeating the purpose[/b], and charging different amounts makes it possible for less affluent kids to join. No one is doing it for free, as we all need to make a living. It’s easy to throw stones based on the $, but I bet what really makes parents upset is that their kid wasn’t invited. [/quote]

:shock:  It's a team sport. They are all on the same team. A reputable coach wants to improve all the players on his team.

I can't believe anyone would hire this guy.

Who is taking over his team that he is bailing on to switch to VRSC mid year?[/quote]

The players and parents need to want to improve and they need to be willing to do the things that will lead to improvement. Not at all surprising if players and/or parents of the bottom third of a RL team (especially in an area with as many ECNL and GA options as the DMV) don’t have that commitment (even if they think they do). As PP said, seems like this coach was a bad fit for a team at that level. Not sure VRSC will be any different though. [/quote]

This sounds so strange to me. Say there are 18 girls on his team. All of the girls and their families are paying lots of money for them to be on that team. Now you are saying if they aren't willing to pay him MORE privately, OR he doesn't want to coach them more, then they "don't have that commitment"? That's completely insane.

I would be livid if my ds's coach picked half the players to pay him for extra practices. That simply should not be allowed by the clubs.[/quote]
